  Speaker 2: On 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, one of those morning show regulars, Katty
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Kay from the BBC, has been reprimanded by the BBC.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Even the left-wing BBC reprimanding her for her anti-Israel nonsense. Apparently,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: she referred to.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The genocide that is being committed in Gaza during a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: podcast appearance, but good for the BBC, usually way to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the left, but they've actually told her that she is
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: officially reprimanded. She's a, you know, get away with that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: crap on Morning Joe, but it's not up to, as
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the BBC says, not up to their standards. She said
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it on, she has a podcast with, remember Anthony Scaramucci,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the two of them, one of these amateur podcasts, Scaramucci,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: great financially, but always, always desperately trying to be some
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: kind of media figure. And again, everybody has a podcast.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Every amateur now has a podcast. Your dentist has a podcast.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Your accountant has a podcast. Let's take some calls. Let's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: go to Allie in Philadelphia. Allie, how are you doing?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. Alice from Philadelphia. Long time visitor. Mark,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I want to comment on the Elizabeth Smart situation. They're
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: trying to make her a heroine. That girl was able
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to leave for the seven months that she had been kidnapped,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: but she stayed with that group. And we were in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Utah when all of this had just happened. And they
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: said the family took in vagrants, and that's who kidnapped her.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So I don't really feel like she's a heroine. but
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing it advertised, this girl was wonderful. What's
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: your comment?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You're probably right. What were you doing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in Utah?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, we were visiting the center where they have the, oh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: my goodness. Utah's a beautiful city, and we happened to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: be there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: All right. Doesn't sound like the most perfect vacation, but okay, but.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: If you live in Philadelphia, I guess Utah looks beautiful,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: but no, we love Philadelphia. Let's go to Abe in Suffern. Abe,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Well, the man that's running in Michigan for Senate, Abdul Saeed,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: he's lying. He's not a doctor. He keeps saying that
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: he's a physician, but he's not a licensed physician anyway.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Why does the media keep doing this?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: He's technically a doctor. He doesn't practice as a doctor,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: but he actually is a doctor.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: He never got a license.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: He never passed the exam.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're following this. He's not a practicing physician,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but he is a doctor. He never. You can't argue
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: with these people. That's what I always tell you. Don't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: argue about politics with anybody. He's technically a doctor. He's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: not a physician treating patients, but he is a doctor.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you. Jill Biden is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: technically a doctor. She can use that title. Even though
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: she's an English teacher at a community college, she can
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: call herself doctor and he can call himself doctor. Let's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe, how are you doing?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I want to change the gears over here. How come
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: nobody's protesting about taking the statue down Stonewall Jackson?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He helped the slaves after the war.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Where's the statue? Where's the statue?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: It was in Richmond, Virginia.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, that's probably why nobody's protesting here.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody's protesting about it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I thought Trump says hands off the statues. Yeah, it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Stonewall Jackson. Robert E. Lee, maybe you go out there
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: because we all know the name. Stonewall Jackson, I hate
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to break it to you. Kind of forgotten about. Yeah, well.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: People get themselves riled up about anything here. Let's go
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to Nolan in New Jersey. Nolan, how you doing?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I'm good, Mark.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you had a chance to watch
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: The Five last night. I was a little disappointed in
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Jesse Waters. He had some suggestions for the cops. that
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: they could save the woman in Times Square by using
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: a Spider-Man type net or approaching her from behind and
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: trying to pistol whip her. I've got to say, I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: really disappointed.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was just trying to be funny. Spider-Man net.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: He could be a little bizarre at times.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a sense of humor. The Five's a great show.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The cops in Times Square with that crazy lunatic, they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: tried the tasers. Kept shooting her with tasers, but she
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: had her purse in front of her. One hit the purse.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And the ones that hit her, as we discussed earlier,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: apparently if you're really fat, the taser is not effective.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: The taser has to hit your muscle to do something.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And if you got inches of fat, if you're really fat,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the taser will not get to the muscle. So it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: would not be as effective. And that's the problem they
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: had there. Let's go to Dan in Queens. Dan, how
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Good, thank you. Listening to Liz speak, Bruce Blakeman could
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: do a commercial saying that Poco killed more jobs in
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: New York State with no fracking, no gas drilling on
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the largest reserves, no AI data centers.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Well, he has been doing it. He has been running
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: those commercials. You follow him on Instagram?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: No, I don't.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's why you got to... Commercials don't go on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: TV anymore. They go on social. If you put it on, whatever,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Channel 5, a few hundred thousand people see it. On
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: his social media, I think he got 62 million views
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: last month. So that's where all the action is. In fact,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: check out Bruce Blakeman's Instagram or Twitter or TikTok or
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: any of that. But he's got great stuff up there.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Great videos of Hochul. There's Hijab Hochul. I think that's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: up there now. Boy, there's a lot of great stuff.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: But that's where all the action takes place in political campaigns.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Running a TV commercial really doesn't reach a lot of people.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Running a radio commercial still reaches a lot of people,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: much more than television will. But the big action is Instagram, TikTok,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and all that. Blakeman's been campaigning like crazy. And this
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: isn't the campaign yet. You know, it really doesn't heat
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: up until after everybody's back from Labor Day. That's where
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it really begins. Let's go to Bob in, is it
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, Bob? Yeah, yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, how you doing?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Long-time listener, first-time caller. I just wanted to tell you
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I love your show. I retired on Monday, so now
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I can listen to you every day. But the only
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: gripe I have is I love your show. But you
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: started taking off on Fridays, and I have a problem
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Well, that's just in the summer, and I hate to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: break it to you. It's Wednesday. I'm taking off tomorrow
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and Friday, two days. Oh, you are?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I just want to tell you, I started
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: walking a lot, and I listen to you, and it
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: makes the walk go by a lot quicker.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: All right, but after Labor Day, no more Fridays off
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: after Labor Day. Then it's five days a week.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: That's good. I'll work into the rotation, and I really
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: appreciate it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I take Fridays off instead of taking a week off.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Instead of taking two weeks.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that works. Well, I'm up all the time now, man.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I'm retired as of Monday. I'm 60. Good health. Decided
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to just retire and live the rest of my life, man.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: No, you do fine. All right. Stay out of trouble, Peter.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. Thank you.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Take care. Yeah, that's why I take Fridays off in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the summer. I don't like to take a week off here.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It's a whole week. It's better to just take a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: bunch of Fridays off.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It happened the other day. I took the Friday off,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and I'm walking around... I was in Long Island, actually.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I was walking around Garden City, and a guy comes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: up to me and goes, I wake up every morning
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to listen to you. You're not there. You're just walking around.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You're not doing anything. Get to work. So after Labor Day,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it's back to five days a week. Hey, when we
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: come back, Ann Coulter will be with us next. Lots
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to talk to her about in just a moment on 710WOR.
